Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour (180g)
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup whole milk ricotta cheese (250g)
  • ¾ cup milk (whole or 2%) (180ml)
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon dried culinary lavender buds, finely chopped
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries (150g)
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (60g), softened
  • 3 tablespoons honey

Instructions

  1. Prepare the honey butter: In a small bowl, combine 4 tablespoons softened unsalted butter with 3 tablespoons honey. Stir until creamy and well blended. Set aside at room temperature.
  2. Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 2 tablespoons sugar, ½ teaspoon salt, and 1 tablespoon finely chopped dried culinary lavender.
  3. Combine wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk 1 cup whole milk ricotta, ¾ cup milk, 2 large eggs, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Incorporate wet into dry: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Gently fold with a spatula until just combined. Some small lumps are okay—do not overmix.
  5. Add blueberries: Carefully fold in 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries, trying not to burst them.
  6. Preheat your pan or griddle: Heat over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil.
  7. Cook pancakes: Pour about ¼ cup (60 ml) batter for each pancake onto the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set. Flip carefully and cook an additional 2 minutes until golden and cooked through.
  8. Keep warm: Transfer cooked pancakes to a plate and cover loosely with foil while cooking the rest.
  9. Serve: Stack pancakes on plates and dollop generously with the honey butter.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter to keep pancakes light and fluffy. Use culinary-grade lavender to avoid bitterness. If the batter thickens too much, thin with a splash of milk. Prepare honey butter ahead for a glossy finish. Leftovers keep well refrigerated for up to 2 days and reheat best in a skillet or toaster.
